The number of binary strings of length n without an odd number of consecutive 1 s is the Fibonacci number F n+1. For example, out of the 16 binary strings of length 4, there are F 5 = 5 without an odd number of consecutive 1 s—they are 0000, 0011, 0110, 1100, 1111.
The sequence of the number of strings of 0s and 1s of length that contain at most consecutive 0s is also a Fibonacci sequence of order . These sequences, their limiting ratios, and the limit of these limiting ratios, were investigated by Mark Barr in 1913.
but these are not Zeckendorf representations because 34 and 21 are consecutive Fibonacci numbers, as are 5 and 3. For any given positive integer, its Zeckendorf representation can be found by using a greedy algorithm, choosing the largest possible Fibonacci number at each stage.
An easily programmed alternative using only integer arithmetic is to calculate two large consecutive Fibonacci numbers and divide them. The ratio of Fibonacci numbers F 25001 {\displaystyle F_{25001}} and F 25000 {\displaystyle F_{25000}} , each over 5000 {\displaystyle 5000} digits, yields over 10,000 {\displaystyle ...
(where n belongs to the natural numbers) All Fibonacci-like integer sequences appear in shifted form as a row of the Wythoff array; the Fibonacci sequence itself is the first row and the Lucas sequence is the second row. Also like all Fibonacci-like integer sequences, the ratio between two consecutive Lucas numbers converges to the golden ratio.
A prime divides if and only if p is congruent to ±1 modulo 5, and p divides + if and only if it is congruent to ±2 modulo 5. (For p = 5, F 5 = 5 so 5 divides F 5) . Fibonacci numbers that have a prime index p do not share any common divisors greater than 1 with the preceding Fibonacci numbers, due to the identity: [6]
In the Fibonacci sequence, each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. Fibonacci omitted the "0" and first "1" included today and began the sequence with 1, 2, 3, ... . He carried the calculation up to the thirteenth place, the value 233, though another manuscript carries it to the next place, the value 377.
The sequence = / of ratios of consecutive Fibonacci numbers which, if it converges at all, converges to a limit satisfying = +, and no rational number has this property. If one considers this as a sequence of real numbers, however, it converges to the real number φ = ( 1 + 5 ) / 2 , {\displaystyle \varphi =(1+{\sqrt {5}})/2,} the Golden ratio ...
